Nets lose Keith Bogans for the season

The New Jersey Nets brought shooting guard Keith Bogans in only slightly more than a week ago because the team's roster was so depleted by injuries. So what does Bogans do? Gets seriously hurt.

The New York Daily News reports that the 31-year-old vet of seven teams "was diagnosed with a complete tear of his deltoid ligament and a fractured ankle" on Thursday and will miss the rest of the season after having surgery.

The 8-19 Nets, who have lost six of their last seven games, are still only four games out of playoff contention at this point, and are again playing short-handed.
